asked the Minister for Finance if he will make preparations for the building of a proposed new Protestant central primary school at Hillygola, Castleblaney, County Monaghan.

Sketch plans are being prepared for the new central primary school at Castleblayney. It is hoped that these will be completed in about a month's time, and copies will then be sent to the school board of management and to the Department of Education. When a grant has been sanctioned and planning permission has been obtained, detailed working drawings will be prepared prior to the invitation of tenders.
